I would be an out of town investor so will need advice on whether to use a PM or try to mange from OOS with a reliable handyman?

Also since I will be an OOS investor, what would you suggest with regards to property management, work with a local company, self manage with a reliable local handyman etc??

If it's mostly school debt for someone who is, say, a medical student or newly practicing doctor or surgeon, I'd consider renting to them.

Also, some investors might like an undemanding, long-term tenant with consistent, reliable income.

Ok BP Community,I know I am asking for your first born child BUT....... can anyone recommend a reliable contractor for flipping and buy & hold?

I am buying a duplex near Lake Phalen in Saint Paul and am in need of a reliable, trustworthy handyman that can do a handful of repairs including misc electrical (changing GCFI), misc plumbing and some exterior work such as scraping, priming and painting window trim, etc.

While my target area is very much a low C-class area, the law is here and it doesn't play around.If you choose to be a handyman and if you choose to live in your target area and if you accept certain risks as given and if the lack of social status doesn't particularly bother you, there is nothing as reliably profitable on a small scale this side of the law as C-class housing.

Really reliable and fair pricing.  609-774-4146.  

I was going to suggest that but it would take qualifying for a construction loan and most important, finding a quality reliable GC.
